Stevie is totally down with new Nemesis providing it’s a flashback story ala Pat & Kev’s loving, brilliant tribute to the late Ken Reid -- Ego Trip. For the overarching narrative of Nemesis the Warlock is circular in structure, so as TB so rightly puts it, there is indeed nowhere else it can go.

In what way was Ego Trip a tribute to Ken Reid? I'm not overly familiar with his work, though have looked up what he did, and can't work out a link to Ego Trip.

I'm assuming it's Ken's work on Faceache. I'm now remembering a 'Scrunge' sound effect when Nemesis distorts yer man's body but I think I'm probably making that up.

When I did a bit of teaching about comics I did a session on what made them unique as an art form. I used O'Neil and Reid (Worldwide Weirdies) together as examples of the Grotesque that comics did so well.

I originally thought it was Devlin Waugh - vampire teeth, 'tache - but on the black and white copy it looks like it calls him a vampire accountant, which would make it Yorga from Brigand Doom (!) Surely not?

Its Captain Constanza(Not sure on name) from Fiends on the Eastern Front aint it?

this issue will feature the first sequential comics work by Bolland for 2000 AD since 1987

Any ideas what this may be? A second Dredd tale, after the Ezquerra one? I'm struggling to think of anything other than an early Future-Shock and Walter the Wobot, non-Dredd wise, in the pages of 2000AD...
